Give us the 30-second elevator pitch on your company
The Happy Hour Locator is an internet advertising website with the target market being the business traveler. We will feature 20 of the best establishments around a 10 to 15 mile radius of each airport in Texas for now but soon will be nationwide. We will provide photos of each establishment, their specials and music so the traveler will already know what to expect before they arrive their destination.
Tell us about the founders, who they are, backgrounds, and why they are passionate about your company
We have started a web-based advertising company that has only one mission. To have larger numbers of people frequent your establishment and purchase more of your goods and services. Once they see how great your Happy Hour is, they will want to come back, over and over again, along with telling all of their friends. The word of mouth will be very, very BIG! The idea for this type of advertising started in 1991 with an overwhelming response. The cost of the print media was too much to incur. So we waited. Now we have decided to bring it to the internet.
All you have to do is check out our web-page and click through the various items like the “Free Food”, the “Happy Hour”, the “Entertainment” along with the “Drink Specials”. Like a member will be able to do. We will shoot pictures in the best areas of your establishment that you, yourself can change at any time. Daily specials, food changes, parties, adding your very own music! Along with holiday pictures. You’ll be able to maintain your very own page all year long (if you wish) or we will do it for you. You will have a way to check your page every minute of the day and make any changes any time you’re ready.
Do you have funding? How much?
No, but we are looking for an investor or investors. We would only need about $30,000.00 to $50,000.00 to launch the website.
What are your startup’s goals for this year?
We want to complete all of the Dallas Fort Worth area with 20 best of the best establishments featured near the DFW Airport, Meacham Airport in Fort Worth which will include the Sundance Square area and the Stockyards and Love Field Airport which will include the West End. Then we can move on to Houston, Austin and San Antonio.
